2001: A Space Odyssey

I actually liked it way more than I was expecting, as it has a reputation for being rather boring. It's an exceptionally pretty movie, the cinematography is PERFECT. Almost every shot is a work of art and some of the rotating sets and cameras are pure genius and some must have required perfect timing by the actors. One set in particular is very impressive; you think you know how it's done until the actors reach the far end and walk into another section and then you'll shout, "Wait, how the fuck did they do that?!"

But oh dear god is it sloooooooooooooooooooooow. I understand why Kubrick made the pacing so slow, but I couldn't help thinking the whole way through, "Did we really need 3 establishing shots there, all lasting nearly a minute each (proably a bit of an exaggeration)? Surely one would have done? I mean, I getting the fucking idea, get a move on!" At times the film feels like its operating in real time rather than compressed-movie-time.

Also, the opening 3 minutes of the movie is just a black screen with music, and there's an intermission that's a good 10-20 minutes of another black screen. I get having that in the theatre, but why wasn't it cut from the home releases? If I want a break I've got a pause button. And the last 20 mins is trippy as balls and a bit artsy for my taste. But despite all that I kinda like it.

Also saw Full Metal Jacket right after. I don't think I need to explain how awesome that film is.

Wreck-It Ralph, on Blu-Ray. The movie is awesome and looks fabulous. Perfect transfer.

They skimped on the extras, though. Boo!

"The Princess Bride" is one of the few movies I've seen where I like the book and the movie exactly as much. I wish they'd had the budget to include the Zoo of Death in the movie, though.

Casablanca (1942)

This has to be the most quotable movie ever. I think Sam is my favourite character, dunno why.

Watched 2012 with my mum on mothers day.

Good special effects, but my mum believes in all that Mayan doomsday crap, so it brought the crazy out of her.

Isn't it a bit late to believe in all that Mayan Doomsday crap? Being, um, 2013?
